Although one game is one game, the Timberwolves backcourt player is at least not the worst player?

In a previous NBA Western Conference Finals G2 game, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves again 118-103. After this game, the Thunder, who won two big wins, widened the total score of the series to 2-0, and they also had an absolute advantage in this round of series.

In this game, although the Timberwolves lost the game, the team's substitute backcourt player Nickeil Alexander Walker is still worthy of recognition. Walker played 25 minutes and 24 seconds in the game, made 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -6. Walker also showed a very good scoring ability on the offensive end. He also seized the opportunity to get a lot of points and provided a lot of support for the team on the offensive end. He is also one of the few players in the team with online abilities. It is also because of his overall performance that Walker also got a lot of playing time in the game. Unfortunately, the team's overall performance was really bad, and there was a significant decline compared to the opponent, and Walker's efforts were unable to receive any reward.

In the NBA regular season this season, Walker maintained full attendance in 82 games. During his 25.3 minutes of playing time per game, his average of 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had 1.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 38.1%, and free throw shooting percentage was 78%. In the playoffs, Walker averaged 20.1 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 7.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 37% from the field, 31.9% from three-point shooting percentage and 93.8% from free throws.

Walker's performance throughout the playoffs was actually very bad. Although the team's competitiveness was quite good, Walker did not show his strength at all. Walker should have been a bench player with excellent scoring skills, and he has the ability to play a comprehensive role on the court and exert a huge impact on the team. As a result, his performance in previous games was very bad, his offensive efficiency was a mess, his scoring ability was seriously insufficient, and his performance also declined significantly compared to the regular season. The problem now is that Walker's performance in these games has not been useless. He looks at least like a god. However, the overall strength of the team looks really inferior to the Thunder, which is a huge trouble. I don’t know if the Timberwolves team can regroup next.
